I'm sure some of you here thought the same thing and went with the lesser model, what did you do to get your car faster? How much did it cost?

Thanks,

It is not going to feel like a 396HP M5, but it is not going to feel as 'heavy' either. It is a quick car, not fast. A pleasure to drive, especially around town and in the corners. If you have the 6 speed M5, you are well aware of the CDV (clutch delay valve) because you have one in your car too.

Do yourself a favor, go out and drive one. For a car with under 250HP, it feels a lot more fun (the torque helps quite a bit). Have fun, let us know what you think.

Welcome.
